Have you ever seen videos of leg press accidents where ppl lock out their knees?

It’s p horrifying and also unintuitive. I see ppl doing that at the gym sometimes and I never know whether I should say something.

I mean.. I usually don’t because I feel like it’s not my business plus I don’t want retards using it as an excuse to start a conversation with me. There’s nothing wrong with leg press tho, it’s just that guys tend to overload it and do tiny reps to show off, which is cringe and gay.

@bot @binkle A machine like that looks beginner friendly too. Unless you've seen a video like this you wouldn't think that anything could go wrong.

I know, it’s crazy, that’s what I meant by unintuitive, and inexperienced ppl tend to overload these way too much for their fitness level.
This appears to be some sort of convention too with a rep right there so it’s shocking they didn’t instruct her properly.

@bot @binkle the one I saw was vertical, the weights were above the dude and I think he had too much weight stacked.

Yes, there are several more like it if you search. I tend to watch gym injury videos sometimes (rarely tho) even though it’s very unsettling.

Men don’t tend to focus on legs nearly as much so that could be part of it.

People with shorter legs seem to be able to do more weight on the leg press. I might be wrong but anecdotally it's what I see at the gym.

I work out 5 days a week and there does seem to be a lot of 5 foot 7 inch guys who are on the juice, too. Like miniature versions of pro wrestlers, they all are wracked with acne, have the weird phenomenon where they have strangely developed minor muscle groups, and their eyes are always open too wide like they are looking for a fight. I kinda want to pat them on the head and tell them to calm down.
Like... bro you have wrapped every joint in your body because you got too big too quick and your tendons are pulling themselves apart. It's no good.

@MisterRogersSnapped @binkle @dew_the_dew @bot try and snap a long stick, now try and snap a short stick of the same width. The manlet is unsnappable.
